Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Nice quality. Pretty wood. Very glossy finish, would have preferred lower sheen. Reliability How has it stood up over time? Don't know. Had it a month. Appears solid. Overall Your general opinion of this product. I was worried about the sustain, being a bolt on, non pitched back neck, but I was pleasantly surprised. Tremolo holds tune surprisingly well. Love the chimey pickups. Humbucker at bridge helps. Love the radius on the neck very playable. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? Neck is a nice shape, not too thin, not to thick. Everything is at a comfortable reach. I adjusted the action down, but was comfortable out of the box. Well thought out design. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Single coils are bright and snappy, and the humbucker snarls as advertised. I dont need to upgrade the pickups, can handle a range of tones. Great blues guitar. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Very glossy. Would have like a satin finish, but the gloss gives the grain great clarity. Smooth neck...glides easy. Very pretty guitar. Action How was the action out of the box? Perfect for all around playing, but I lowered it for fast light playing. Very touch responsive. Harmonics ring up and down the neck.
